Therapeutic Approaches and Accessing Care Online

Dr. Igboanusi integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as central tools for online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and difficulty sleeping by teaching practical coping strategies. ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance of difficult internal experiences, helping clients navigate grief, life transitions, and persistent stress while building a meaningful direction.

He also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the client's perspective and pace, creating a collaborative environment where goals and methods are shaped together. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist will explore a person's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time so the work fits the individual's situation and comfort level.

Online therapy with him is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes, manage scheduling constraints, and choose the communication style that best supports therapeutic progress.
